horse that had been abandoned by its owner
and turned out to die, wandered into the

Cigar Color by the Gallon.

IAN interesting feature Of the trade"
said a dealer, sis q process for giving
to cigars a very rich, glossy and shin.
ing appearance. No matter how dead
lookinga cigar may be, the process
makes them look as though they were
made from the richest, oiliest, finest
gummy tobacco, and no matter how old
and dried out tho cigars may be the
process entirely and perfectly renovates
them. The process is q secret. The
material used is as clear as water, vet it
gives to a cigar q much darker and
richer appearance. 1t cannot come of
from the Cigar, has no taste, and does
not become dull by age. The material
costs SIS a gallon. The fact is, the public
is continually demanding cigars Of bet
ter quality, and the only way to keep up
with the times is for manufacturers to
improve their tobacco to the fullest ex-
tent. The way to do it is to throw
aside all prejudice and o%ld-fashioned
notions; Tho looks of cigars sell them.
n it the wrappers are dark and shiny
they will sell every time; that is my ex-
perience."-M 7. Mail and Erpress.

How Mary Anderson Should Kiss,

Mary Anderson should learn to kiss,
says the Deadwood Nugget, and kiss &C
cording to Hoyle. Kiss so that after
the deal she would leave a royal flush
on the cheek of the kissee. II Mary
would pay a little more attention to
kissing she could cultivate an article
that would cause the footlights to pale
with envy and make the stage carpenter
pound his a on his tool-chest with adj
Miration. She is built right to kiss
with stunning effect. Her lips are full
and red; her neck is swan-like; she
could approach man from the rear,
lean over his shoulder, look down
through his eyes into his boots. glue her
lips to his, draw in her breath, compress
her lips for IN instant, then suddenly
part them-biM bang! and witnesses
would shut their eyes and yell for some-
body to turn the hose on them.
